Has anyont tried out HDMI/ USB adapter on this yet? Is it full mirroring?
Using an MHL adapter does give you mirror display output. There is not enough power from the phone to power the MHL adapter, so you must use a power adapter.
I used an HTC MHL adapter. Check with Monoprice, they just started carrying generic MHL's.
Did u guys gets an adapter with your phone? Wirefly said I wasn't supposed to get one.
Uhhhhh... Last time I looked, Samsung wasn't buying HTC branded accessories and including them with their products! LOL!!
No MHL included.

Nope. They are cheaping out on us. Just the phone and charger.
The European version at least got some decent looking headphones, and I have seen one set actually have a basic leather case. The case might have been a reviewers special or something.
Best place I would recommend getting an MHL would be Monoprice. You can get them cheaper at Amazon or Ebay, but you get what you pay for from those places.

That would be an MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link)
Usb to HDMI with another USB port for power. I have an HTC version. Works great, must use power to usb port next to HDMI output. Some devices have enough power to drive the adapter. Unfortuntely, the E4GT does not.
What, not even headphones.

in the review he mentions that the mhl adapter did not come with the phone.
got my mhl adapter and mirroring is working good.
However wondering if there is any way to make the video quality playback better?
should one adjsut the screen density or any other settings?I have you tube and netflix playing well but not in that high of quality IMO
With the HDMI hack, we can use our Atrix 4g with any HDMI screen.
Has anyone tried taking that configuration on the road?
What would make a good companion portable HDMI screen for this?
Cheers guys
You can use any screen that takes HDMI. You don't need any special "portable" HDMI screen.
I've used my 27" 1080p monitors or my 60" led tv.
I would presume he's after a cheap screen with a battery so he can use it whilst travelling... Would love to see my Infuse on a 60" though!
Hmm, the lapdock itself is a nice portable HDMI screen. With a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter, you can plug any HDMI device to it.

Do you mean the Atrix lapdock? If so, it's still quite pricey I think.
Have just spotted this lot:
I got my lapdock from the at&t retail store yesterday for $80. I'm not sure if your US based since that link if for the euro. It's a great little device but the roms i use dont do landscape mirroring so its fairly useless that and never could get much going for debian on webtop.
I have a normal tv with video in/out ports. Is it possible to connect SGS2 to a normal tv (not a HD one) using the MHL cable? I have seen a video on YouTube where someone has connected the Galaxy S with a cable in 3.5 mm audio port of the mobile to a tv set for a video output. Will this be possible with SG2?

AS far as i know this is not Possibile in Galaxy S2.
U can connect ur HD TV with HDMI Cable, but not standard TV with 3.5mm Jack.
i Dont know why SAMSUNG hasnt given this feature on GS2, it would be great if that feature was there.
Thanks for your reply. Can I connect to a non HD tv (normal tv) using HDMI/MHL cable?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
i suppose yes.
U can connect to any TV that has a support for HDMI. {not sure though}
I don't think non HD tv's have support for HDMI. Only HD tv's have I suppose.

Really exist?...O_O thanks 4 info....i'm gonna search this...
MHL outputs a digital signal.
Standard TVs that do not have HDMI, with RCA jacks, take in an analog signal.
Something needs to convert the signal, so you need a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC.

Probably because it would take more hardware to do so. Which increases production costs, and would have made the phone larger. There is a ton of stuff crammed into the phone as it is. It is basically a pocket sized computer.
If you can afford this phone, how can you not afford a TV that has an HDMI input?
I connected the MHL cable to a VISIO 720p television and it didn't work, I suppose that MHL sends 1080i/p signals only and your television must, at least, be able to handle this resolution and rescale it.

Not true. Any tv with an HDMI input will work. Doesn't have to be 1080i/p. Did you plug in a power source?

Huh. That's very weird. There shouldn't be an issue with plugging it into a 720p. In fact, I don't think the video output will even be 720p, let alone 1080i/p, unless the output is a video that is that resolution.

I think either the GS2 or the MHL adapter will upscale the image to 1080 regardless the resolution supported by the TV. But it's in fact weird because HD ready should support at least 1080i.
I have seen mini-USB to composite output cable (audio -left and right seperated- and S-Video output cables) for SGS2 on a shopping site but couldn't remember which one now. So it must be possible.

That could be. I can't test, as it works on I everything own... I don't own a TV or monitor that is less than 1080p.

I have my doubts about this - at least, the part that it was for an SGS2. MHL is a digital signal. S-Video is analog. So either the cable was REALLY expensive, or maybe they were trying to pass off a micro-USB to S-Video cable that it (falsely) works for the SGS2? Or it was actually for an SGS1?
The green screen on MHL/HDMI output happens, because of non HDCP compliant TV. All content that we get out of the USB to HDMI adapter is copy protected (HDCP).
I noticed this while I wanted to connect it to as HDMI to SDI converter. Also no capture card will accept this signal. Only HDCP TV and monitor will work.
I'm trying to figure out now how I can get 1080p desktop and gallery output.
MHL on normal TV
I read HDMI on "normal" TV (not HD) works if you use VGA adaptator.
A person on the forum i saw, gives a links to buy one and it was 40$ (For MHL adaptator + VGA adaptor that you need to input in the MHL)

Link? (I'm just curious)
My point above, is that the standard MHL adapter is only like $15. So it would be an additional cost to get ANOTHER adapter to plug that into a TV without an HDMI input. So $40 for that whole get-up would be more expensive. Less expensive than I thought it would be, but still more.
And based on what erzyk says in post 17, there is no guarantee this would work due to standard TVs not being HDCP compliant. But I'm just speculating.
Someone could buy this $40 mystery cable and test it out, I guess. It's just not gonna be me.

I'm agree with you it's very expensive (and i'm not going to buy this thing for 48$)
Here the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...B-VGA-adapter-MHL-hdmi-HDMI-VGA-/320804899833
May be you can found it less expensive (i didn't search, i just saw a person that give the link with this expensive price).
Does the HTC One use a standard Micro-USB (5-pin) to MHL adapter?
If so, does HTC make any official adapters?
I've found an older model called MTC AC M490 (for HTC Evo) but it's discontinued. I'm surprised because it has fantastic reviews and I'm guessing it would still work on the HTC One...
If not, can anybody recommend me a good adapter that can also charge the phone?
I ordered this one 3 weeks ago when it was in stock for less than £2.
Works with my HOX and One

Why settle for mhl when it supports miracast? This is wireless screen mirroring. You need supported hardware but HTC sells one, media hub I think?

Only problem is, it does nor support 1080p output while our phone does.
So other option is Panasonic box or LG box either are out in Europe yet.

If he's like me and owns the Pioneer appradio 2, the MHL adapter is practically a must with arliberator. It's not the only way to go, but works the best hands down.
Just saying.
Has anyone found an adapter that isn't laggy?
Managed to sort it out, i had to turn off game mode as the tv was trying to draw extra frames.
All running sweet now with no lag.
Pipeline makes a very nice MHL adapter. I say because I have for the LTE and it's a solid piece of tech
Shifted from the bottom of the rabbit hole
Mhl 1.0 supports 1080p at 30fps
mhl 2.0 supports 1080p at 60fps
Our phone is 2.0 capable. If you already bought an mhl adapter for your phone prior to owning this phone chances are it's 1.0. I am using the adapter I used for my Evo LTE and it looks great.

Can anyone recommend an MHL adapter on Amazon? Also, I didn't see an MHL cable as an accessory for the One on the HTC website.
Also, I haven't had a phone that supports MHL before - does it require a power cord for the adapter? I've read mixed stories about some devices requiring the adapter to be connected to a power source as well versus other devices not requiring the extra power source/cable.
Is the TV remote able to send signals to the HTC One, as described in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link#Features said:
The TV remote will control the connected device with guaranteed mixed manufacturer interoperability (CEC).[7] (Also see Silicon Image's press release about MHL on December 14, 2010). Note: The built-in Remote Control Protocol(RCP) function allows you to use the remote control of the TV to operate the MHL mobile device through TV’s Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) function.

Also... I sometimes use an HDMI to DVI adapter to use a computer monitor as a display for some devices that output HDMI (like say for instance my PS3). Would this have any chance of working or is the signaling just entirely different? (ie connecting HTC One to a DVI computer monitor)

The first implementations use the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular TV connection (HDMI). Other than the physical connectors, USB and HDMI technology are not being used. It is exclusively MHL signaling through the connectors and over the cable.

I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/161009409501
It is NOT mhl 2.0, tested the mhl adapter with epic citadel. When not connected, I get get an average of 57 fps on the benchmark. When connected to TV @ 1080p, its locked at 30fps max.
I can confirm that the HTC One does NOT require a power source connected to the MHL adapter to work. Older phones needed a power source
Does anyone know if there are any MHL 2.0 Adapters? Cause I can't seem to find them online or on eBay
I,m also searching an MHL 2.0 cable, i found this one :

Where is there information on the One being MHL 2.0 capable? As far as I know the MHL consortium have confirmed the S4 as the first (and presently only) MHL 2.0 spec device on their twitter feed. Not the sort of news they would ordinarily omit.
On wikipedia both MHL and HTC One pages list the device specifically as MHL 2.0. HTC's site say MHL capable but doesn't say 1.0 or 2.0. I guess I can't find an official source of it saying that it is 2.0. If this is 2.0 then of course the One was the first phone released with MHL 2.0.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page is all I could find. Personally I find the MHL Consortium a much more credible source, and they say the S4 is the first MHL 2.0 spec device. I don't think the One has it.

Has anyone had any luck using an a Micro USB to HDMI adapter?
I am trying to get my adapter working with the Optimus G Pro but having no luck. It does work fine with my Galaxy Note and my brother's Droid Razr Maxx HD. I read an article stating that MHL does not work with this phone yet the specs that are advertised state that the micro USB connection supports MHL.
Any input would be great.
Thanks.
If you're using the mhl adapter, that's the problem. No need for mhl at all.

Am I correct in saying that the only way to view your home screen and games on the big screen is to use the miracast device or an MHL adapter? I can already view videos wirelessly through DLNA but I want to do more than just watch media.
